After a year of development, Daryl and Frances launched the first Wozo performance in the Spring of 2014. Each iteration has been designed with a feedback session at the end, which has significantly shaped each subsequent performance. Wozo is still a work in progress and the last stages of its creation have been a rich, communal process.

"We are wozo. We bend, but we do not break." – Haitian proverb

Wozo is a reed that grows throughout Haiti—a great metaphor for resilience:

Haitians say that wozo can be knocked over by wind or flood, and it will right itself; wozo can be broken off, and a new shoot will grow; wozo can be cut to the ground and burned, and it will grow back, stronger than ever.

We createto make sense of brokennessand lift up the resilienceof the human spirit.
